Assignment 2 Write-Up

1. This story opens with a herd of sheep grazing in an enclosed fence. They are then disrupted by a wolf that they all assume is violent and dangerous. In fear some of the sheep escape while others stayed and eventually ban together to trap the wolf. The wolf is then caught and left to be alone in the fence. End scene.



2. The exterior of this table-top model consists of the following materials: a large cardboard box, three scraps of cloth, tape, and hot glue. The interior floor and walls consist of construction paper of various colors. This will facilitate for grass, flowers, hills, sky, and a sun. Yellow and orange popsicle sticks are used for the rickety, wooden fence. White cottonballs are used for sheep. A single pipe-cleaner is used for the wolf. The magical red button is made of additional cardboard. Silver paperclips, tape, and more pipecleaners create the cage.



3. The shell of this table-top stage consists of the square cardboard box. Four of its six walls are left untouched, while its top and front wall bear large openings. The top opening accommodates overhead lighting, while the front opening gives way to the actual stage. With the aid of the hot glue gun, three cloth curtains are attached to the top and two side margins. The stage floor is blanketed with the sheets of green construction paper, serving as the grassy floor. Additional scraps construction paper stand upright as grass blades and patches of pastel flowers. Blue, brown, yellow, and orange construction paper are cut and positioned as hills, sky, and a sun. The tinted popsicle sticks are broken into rusted, jagged posts. Within this circular fence are the cottonball sheep, fluffed and plumped as necessary. The dark purple pipecleaner is simply bent into the silhouette of the wolf. Because this wolf is made of wire, it can be bended into a variety of positions. A tinier cardboard box, held together by glue, serves as the base for the magical button. The button itself is a cardboard disc, covered in red tape. The bars of the cage, made of the elongated paperclips, are held together by tape and more pipecleaners.



4. Our group would best describe our concept as fearing the unknown. Referring back to our theme of boundaries, we believe we create boundaries when we first encounter something different. The sheep represent the majority and the wolf represents the minority- the majority manifest fear into anger and discriminate against the minority. In this instance discrimination comes in the form of segregation. And this ultimately leaves the minority ostracized without even having an opportunity to show its intentions.
